When trying to find an alternative way of solving my problem i found that running this script:
#!/usr/bin/env python import re row="" for a in range(156000): row+="a" print "How many, dude?" print re.search('/[^ "=]*',row) (the / has moved) wouldn't take even a second (The re.search part of course) This is for me very strange since this, in theory, is the same problem as before. /Henning Thornblad -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
